Every figure on this page comes from packages the hospitals themselves publish โ hospital booking channels, the public booking platforms hospitals list their packages on, and in one city the hospital's own English package list. Nothing here is an estimate, a quote we negotiated, or a price we set.
For each city we recorded every general health checkup package the hospital publishes, along with its full item list. The verified starting price is the cheapest package that qualifies as a general checkup under the exclusion rules below. The published package range spans the cheapest to the dearest qualifying package, including executive and VIP tiers.
Collection window: August 2026. Coverage: 9 cities, 16 Grade 3A hospitals, 280 qualifying packages, over 10,000 individual line items.
A hospital's cheapest listed package is often not a health checkup. These are excluded from the starting price:
The qualifying rule: a package counts as a general checkup only if it includes at least two baseline components โ physical examination, blood chemistry, ECG, imaging โ and covers at least five distinct screening areas.
This rule changes the answer. Without it, Shenzhen's starting price would be CNY 33 for a driving licence examination, and Suzhou's would be CNY 154 for a single ambulatory ECG.
Hospital-assigned category labels are not reliable on their own. In one city a gynaecology-only package was filed by the hospital under general checkup, which is why every qualifying package was checked against its actual item list rather than its label.

Verified starting prices for general health checkups at public Grade 3A hospitals range from CNY 499 in Suzhou up to CNY 4,622 in Shanghai across nine surveyed cities, with comprehensive executive and VIP packages reaching CNY 34,288.
A qualifying general checkup includes at least two baseline diagnostic components (physical examination, blood chemistry, ECG, imaging) and covers at least five distinct screening areas. Pre-employment and single-system tests are excluded.
Where the cheapest baseline package is men-only, women's packages start higher because gynecological screening and pelvic ultrasound are included, with the difference ranging from CNY 40 to CNY 1,280 depending on the hospital and city.
